A good question, but it's probably a bit much to ask David to address it in
his summary, as the answer is rather complicated.

The main variables are the resolution & colour depth of the preview image,
of course. Some of the methods that David describes let you control these
variables, in which case the answer to your question is "how large do you
want the file to be?". I mentioned epstool in a previous post and I have
volunteered to contribute some text about it to add to David's summary--when
I get around to it :-). This lets you control resolution, colour depth and
format of the preview image via command-line switches. I may do some
experiments and report the results--when I get around to it.
